Exit Poll Results Punjab 2022: AAP likely to be largest party, predicts India Today-Axis My India

According to the exit poll by India Today-Axis, in Punjab AAP will have a clean sweep with 76-90 seats. Congress will get 19-31, while BJP will get 1-4 seats and SAD will win 7-11 seats.

Punjab witnessed a multi-cornered election this time. The Congress, BJP, Aam Aadmi Party, Punjab Lok Congress, Shiromani Akali Dal, and Bahujan Samaj Party are the key political groups vying for power in the state. The PLC was allied with the Bhartiya Janata Party and Sanyukt Akali Dal (SAD) for the 117-seat Punjab Assembly polls.

Punjab, which went to polls in a single phase on February 20, witnessed a multi-cornered battle between the Aam Aadmi Party, the Congress, the Shiromani Akali Dal and the Bharatiya Janata Party which contested polls this time without its long-time ally Shiromani Akali Dal.

A regional force to reckon with in Punjab, Akali Dal severed its ties with its political partner of 24 years over the now-repealed farm laws.
